Technologies!!!: Self service software vendors

What is cybernetics?

Cybernetics is the interdisciplinary study of the structure of regulatory systems. Cybernetics is closely related to control theory and systems theory. Both in its origins and in its evolution in the second-half of the 20th century, cybernetics is equally applicable to physical and social (that is, language-based) systems.

Contemporary cybernetics began as an interdisciplinary study connecting the fields of control systems, electrical network theory, mechanical engineering, logic modeling, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, anthropology, and psychology in the 1940s, often attributed to the Macy Conferences.

Self service software vendors

Self service software vendors is a subset within the Self service software category which highlights a range of software vendors that specialize in the knowledgement management, decision support, expert systems, Business Process Management (BPM), rule and logic engines and taxonomies.

Self service software vendors

Self service software vendors allows authors (typically subject matter experts) to readily automate the deployment of, the timeliness of and compliance around a variety of processes of which they are involved in communicating without having to physically address the questions, needs and solicitations of end users who are inquiring about the particular process being automated.

Most self service software addresses closed-loop inquiries whereby the author emulates a variety of known (finite) questions and related (known) responses on hand or required steps that must be addressed to derive and deliver a final answer or directive. Often the author using such software codifies such known processes and steps and then generates (publishes) end-user facing applications which can encompass a variety of code bases and platforms.

Recognized self service software vendors include ATG, Kinetics, Microsoft, Oracle Corporation, PhaseWare Inc., BEA and PROVISIO.
